Hi everyone, we hope you like our new website and please give us your feedback and comments!
i dont know if it`s been said yet but the slight diffrence in specs between the consoles wont make much diffrence. my PC is better than my mates by about the same as the ps2 to xbox but the diffrence is not seen unless you point out every little jagged edge. in other words people boast about the specs but the diffrence is like the between playing an n64 with rf lead and rgb lead .....not much diffrence at all

The argument went along the lines that the Dreamcast was not only out performing the PS2, it was also a hell of a lot cheaper.
The DC went on to not sell and die out.
It SHOULD'VE slowed down the PS2's domination a hell of a lot, only people were blinded by Sony's hype and advertising and the fact that the original PS had taken the world by storm.
Never mind though.
The PS2 wasn't all that bad...

Thankyou for your vote of confidence Gpotter!
Personally, I think it is totally stupid saying that the Xbox is poor (or whatever)... because it has some great games.
As gamers you'd think that people would get that point?
Anyway, if I had the money (and no A levels coming) I would undoubtedly get a GC and Xbox... the first for classices like Strafox, Zelda and Mario, and the second for Jet Set Future, DOA3 and Halo.
The style of games on the consoles is very different, but both are great"

This could go on for ever, and these "mine's better" posts are a tad boring, so...
No single console is better than another. Consoles are for playing games on, and that's what people buy them for. If one has got more of the games that you prefer, then that's what you get; in your eyes it is the best, and nothing anybody says can change that.

Wasn't the Saturn also launched at £400??
Well, that flopped, but despite the price, it still sold QUITE well - even if it didn't top the market.
So price has no effect on which machine gamers choose to buy. Like Sonic said - the PS started at £400 and ended up MILES above the rest!
